One thing that helps me manage my anxiety is.....

Hanging out with friends, going to a safe place unrelated with the abuser

Drinking alcohol

Music.

Having someone to talk to & getting enough exercise. I sure feel it when I haven't been to the I in a few days.

I drink a lot of flavoured teas and coffees. As well as painting or drawing my emotions out.

I scribble. Like in the midst of panic attacks, I scribble over my papers to help me center in on something and focus. It's also really helpful because I have OCD, and it's not something I can mess up.

Is have a safe spot and go to it in case you get nervous and need a break.

Talking to others and helping them through their issues makes me realise a) im not alone, and b) the importance of perspective! Also love music, and exercise...when I can drag myself off the couch!

Talking and hearing my negative self-talk and worries out loud
